Mets Haven’t Made Decision On Matt Harvey

The New York Mets may not be committing to another start for starting pitcher Matt Harvey, but they haven’t made a decision on him yet, either. In the latest chapter of Harvey’s destruction, he was knocked around to the tune of six earned runs across six innings pitched, raising his ERA to a horrid 6.00. […]

Jason Vargas Will Make Next Rehab Start Monday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas continues to make his way back from a hand injury suffered during spring training. The next step in his recovery will come in the form of a rehab start for Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. Assuming all goes well and he emerges from the rehab start unscathed, one […]

Blue Jays Activate Kendrys Morales

The Toronto Blue Jays have activated designated Kendrys Morales (hamstring) from the 10-day disabled list. Morales was suffering from a hamstring strain but only ended up missing the minimum amount of time. Morales’ playing time situation remains unclear, however. With Curtis Granderson admirably filling in as designated hitter and recently called up outfielder Teoscar Hernandez lighting […]

Kevin Pillar’s Hitting Streak Ends

It seems like every year Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar goes on an extended hitting streak of some kind at some point. This year, he may have gotten it out of the way early. Pillar finished 0-for-3 against the New York Yankees on Thursday, ending his hitting streak at a cool nine games. Over […]

Blue Jays Call Up Lourdes Gurriel

The Toronto Blue Jays are calling up shortstop Lourdes Gurriel from Double-A New Hampshire on Friday. You may recognize the last name -- Lourdes is the younger brother of Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel. Gurriel actually makes for an interesting fantasy prospect at a position many owners could use help at. Through 12 games […]

Teoscar Hernandez To Remain In Majors

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will reportedly remain in the Major Leagues, even with the impeding return of designated hitter Kendrys Morales from the disabled list on Friday. The thought all along was that Hernandez would be sent back down once Morales returned, but he has simply played too well for a demotion. Through […]

Aaron Sanchez Continues Solid Play

Fantasy owners weren’t sure what they would get out of Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez in 2018, but overall, he’s been pretty solid. In a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Thursday, Sanchez earned his third consecutive quality start by allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks across […]

Matt Harvey Destroyed Again

Things are going from bad to worse for New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey. Making his fourth start of the season against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, Harvey was rocked for the third straight outing. He allowed six earned runs on eight hits and a walk across six innings pitched, striking out four. The […]

Mets Sign Vance Worley, Scott Copeland

The New York Mets added some organizational depth on Thursday, signing pitchers Vance Worley and Scott Copeland to minor league deals. Neither figure to be major contributors for the Amazins’, but stranger things have happened. Worley is coming off a disastrous 2017 that saw him get shelled to the tune of a 6.91 ERA across […]

Short But Successful Night For Steven Matz

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz got off to a rough start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. After an infield hit and a walk, Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman crushed a three-run shot that put an early damper on Matz’s night. However, Matz retired the last 10 batters he faced prior to his […]

Yoenis Cespedes Breaks Slump

It may have only been two games, but it certainly looks as if New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is breaking out of his horrific slump. Cespedes finished 2-for-5 with a grand slam, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Mets 11-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Cespedes seemed to be putting […]

Curtis Granderson Slugs Grand Slam

New Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Curtis Granderson hasn’t quite found his power stroke yet up north, but if Wednesday’s game is any indication, he may be well on his way to doing so. Granderson finished 2-for-4 with a grand slam, three runs scored and two walks in the 15-5 rout of the Kansas City […]

Anthony Swarzak Shut Down

New York Mets reliever Anthony Swarzak was inching closer to a return after straining his left oblique, but he has been shut down due to lingering discomfort. Swarzak had been throwing off flat ground as recently as Monday, but that’s obviously no longer happening. He was originally scheduled to travel to Florida this week to […]

Mets Considering Six-Man Rotation

According to manager Mickey Callaway, the New York Mets are apparently considering a six-man rotation upon the return of starting pitcher Jason Vargas, which should happen within the next two weeks or so. Currently, starting pitchers Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz, Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler occupy the five slots, but it sounds as though […]

Adrian Gonzalez Returns To Mets lineup

New York Mets first baseman Adrian Gonzalez sat out Tuesday’s game due to southpaw starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez getting the nod for the Washington Nationals, but A-Gon is returning to the lineup on Wednesday with righty Tanner Roark on the mound. Gonzalez has probably been a bit better than expected so far, but that doesn’t […]

Michael Conforto Back In Lineup

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale with the Washington Nationals. Conforto sat on Tuesday, as he so often does, against left-handed starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez. In a limited sample size against Wednesday’s starting pitcher Tanner Roark, Conforto is hitting .333 with one home run. After a […]

Mets May Consider Replacing Matt Harvey

New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas is nearing his return (and Mets debut) from an injury to his non-pitching hand, which means someone from their current starting rotation needs to be bounced. The thought has been that Zack Wheeler would be the displaced pitcher, considering he only re-entered the rotation due to Vargas’ injury. […]

Kendrys Morales Ready For Activation Friday

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales has been out of action with a hamstring strain, but it sounds like he’ll be ready to return from the disabled list when first eligible on Friday. Morales’ return likely shifts Curtis Granderson, who has been the designated hitter in his stead, back to the outfield and sends […]

Josh Donaldson Likely Needs More Than 10 Days

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has been on the 10-day disabled list since April 13 (retroactive to April 11) due to shoulder inflammation. While the injury wasn’t considered to be serious, he’s expected to need more than the 10-day minimum despite being able to come off the disabled list on Saturday. Donaldson has […]

One Hit In Five Games For Justin Smoak

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak got off to a hot start in 2018, but he has cooled off considerably. Smoak picked up seven hits and two home runs in a three-game stretch to start the year, but hasn’t done a whole lot since. Over his last five games, Smoak has picked up only […]

Randal Grichuk’s Batting Average Climbs Above .100

It’s been a slow start to the Toronto Blue Jays career of outfielder Randal Grichuk, to say the least. Entering the team’s doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday, Grichuk was hitting .071 across 42 at-bats to start the season. That all changed when the real Grichuk stood up in the first game of […]

Zack Wheeler Can’t Replicate Dominance But Throws Quality Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler had a fantastic 2018 debut last week that saw him allow one run and strike out seven Miami Marlins across seven innings. He couldn’t quite replicate that against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, but he still put forth a valiant effort. Wheeler pitched six innings, allowing three earned […]

Yangervis Solarte Picks Up Another Multi-Hit Game

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte has gotten off to a red-hot start up north, picking up multi-hit games in three of his last five and four of his last seven. In the first game of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday, he finished 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI. […]

Joe Biagini Has Solid 2018 Debut

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Joe Biagini made his season debut in the big leagues on Tuesday night, and all in all it was a solid effort. Biagini fell one out shy of a quality start, allowing three earned runs on six hits and three walks across 5 2/3 innings against the Kansas City Royals. […]

Jason Vargas To Make Rehab Start In Five Days

New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas (hand) is set to make a minor league rehab start in five days and could be ready to go for the big league club after that. Of course, this comes after Vargas struck out 12 hitters over six hitless innings in an intrasquad game on Monday, so one would […]

Travis d’Arnaud Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

New York Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud (elbow) successfully underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday morning, according to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News. d’Arnaud will miss the rest of the 2018 season, though he should be fully healed up by the time 2019 rolls around. d’Arnaud’s platoon mate, Kevin Plawecki, is also out […]

Adrian Gonzalez Sitting, Wilmer Flores In

As usual when the New York Mets are facing a left-handed starting pitcher, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is out, and Wilmer Flores is in against Gio Gonzalez and the Washington Nationals. Gonzalez has been solid overall but clearly doesn’t have a ton of pop left, as evidenced by his 30 percent fly-ball rate and 11.1 […]

Michael Conforto Sitting On Tuesday

With the Washington Nationals sending out left-handed starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez on Tuesday, the New York Mets are keeping outfielder Michael Conforto on the bench. Conforto has slowed down after a quick start upon his return from a devastating shoulder injury. He’s slashing .250/.415/.438 with one home run and three RBI across 41 plate appearances. […]

Yoenis Cespedes, Jay Bruce Back In Lineup

New York Mets outfielders Yoenis Cespedes (illness) and Jay Bruce (foot) are back in the lineup for the middle game of the Amazins three-game series with the Washington Nationals. Both pinch hit on Monday and both were retired. Cespedes returns to the lineup after feeling under the weather for a few days, while Bruce has been dealing […]

Mets Recall Gerson Bautista, Demote Hansel Robles

The New York Mets have called up right-handed reliever Gerson Bautista from Double-A Binghamton, demoting reliever Hansel Robles to Triple-A Las Vegas to make room. The Mets bullpen has been gassed, as evidenced by their disastrous showing against the Washington Nationals on Monday night. Now, at least for the time being, they'll have a fresh […]
